Prussia.

BERLIN, Peb 22-Returns continue to
show National Liberal victories all along
the line. Of 80 seats held by National
Liberals in the last reichstag, % have
again won. Besides these % have been
gained by coalition with National Liberals
and Free Conservatives.
Midnight returns from $50 districts re
ceived show the election of 43 COnserva
tives. 16 Imperialists, 81 Centreists, SO
National Liberals, new German Liberals,
Socialists, II Alsacians. In AZ districts
supplementary elections will be necessary.
The National Zietung, commenting upon
the elections, says: The results as far as
known presages brilliant septennist
victory.
The result ascertained this afternoon in
clude twenty-six seats won from the reich
stag majority of January 18th; while the
National Liberals have wrested from their
opponents twenty-three districts, of which
twelve were lost by new German Liberals,
three by Centreists, five by Socialists anG
three by Democrats. The new German
Liberals have veritably suffered a crushing
defeat
The Nechrichten says: IF conclusion
can be drawn from a general summary
of the results, the prospect of the
National parties are decidedly favora-
BILE. The sound sense of the German
people has met the disgraceful experiments
in agitation of the apostles Of revolution
with substance which was evidently not
expected by the allied opposition. Ac
cordingly among the latter there prevails
general disappointment. Among the new
German Liberals feeling of intense dis
may is plainly discerned between the high
sounding phrases Of the party press If
the outcome of the elections is
such as to leave our enemies in doubt
as to the fact that we are firmly
determined to defend ourselves to the ut
most for the protection Of the fatherland
and are ready to make all the sacrifices
which the emperor asks them, the main
tainance of peace is perhaps secured.
1t is reported in official circles that the
emperor will summon the reichstag to
meet without waiting for the supplementary
elections to be held as soon as verified re
turns show the election of sufficient num-
Der of deputies to constitute a quorum.

Hannah'S Horrible Tale.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-In confes-
sion made today by the celored woman,
Hannah May Tubbs, who was arrested
Monday, she declared Wakefield Gaines,
whose limbs and headless trunk were found
in a pond, was murdered in her house, on
Richard street, this city, by John Wilson,
or Wallace; that the victims remains were
dismembered 10y Wilson; that brute made
away with the head, legs and arms; that
she carried the trunk OF the body to Ed
dington and threw it into Mann's pond.
Jealousy on the part of Wilson and Gaines
over a pretty mulatto was the motive for
the horrible crime. Wilson was captured
tonight upon her confession of the horrible
details

WHAT WILL IT MATTERi

Oh! fate is cruel and fate is cold,
And only giveth grave at last,
And what is glory, or love, or gold
When this brief hour is overpast?
What doth It matter us how we live?
What doth it matter us how we die?
What can all Of the future give
When under the grassy clods we lie!
What will it matter to you or me
Insensate there in immortal calm
Whether our funeral dirge shall be
a reptiles hiss nations psalm?
What will it matter us then, say,
Whether hngly crown we wore,
Whether we toiled from day to day
Or begged Q pittance from door to doori
What viii it matter Us then il we
Kept our garments from things impure,
Scattered our gold with glad hand free
And walked in the strength Of our worth securei
Or whether we wallowed in lies and lust
And washed our hands in the blood Of men,
And proved a traitor to every trust,
What will it matter unto us then:
Whether our friends were false o. true
Whether our foes were strong Or weak.
What will it matter TO me you
After our candle is out? Oh, speak.
